Hi guys!!! Happy Tuesday 😀 I love shorter weeks! Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day and took the time to think about those who have fought so valiantly to protect our way of life. We had such an amazing time in New York. The shopping (!), food, sights, drinks (heh) were all incredible. We…

Hey everyone! I have had such a wonderful weekend 😀 Sorry for being MIA, but we’ve been go-go-go (just the way I like it) and I guess a seriously incredible vacation is worth being missing from the blog world for a few days 😉 I’ll be posting a full re-cap of our NYC trip tomorrow…

Hey everyone!!! I love New York. It’s the total opposite of Valdosta 😉 We got settled into the hotel and spent a couple of hours walking around. It’s perfect because our hotel is right in the middle of all the action and I love to walk around and look at all of the stores and…

Hey everyone! TGIAF! Any big plans for the weekend? By the time this posts, we should be getting into shenanigans in NY with Megan and her pilot 😀 Right now, I’m doing a little sky blogging: After the hectic night, we got into Hotlanta pretty late and crashed out. I’m glad I didn’t end up…

Hey everyone! Happy Monday (if such a thing exists?) 😀 Sorry I was MIA yesterday! The pilot and I got a TON done around the casa (since we’ve only been home 2 weekends since he’s been back from the desert) but before I get into the re-cap, here’s WEEK 3 of the SUMMER SHAPE UP!…

In order to determine…

Hey everyone!!! Hope you had a great weekend and/or Easter/Passover 😉 Viesa rocked the bunny ears: I had such a nice day relaxing with the pilot. We’ve been gone so much over the weekends that we haven’t had a lot of chill time around the casa, so it was pretty amazing to just hang out…

Heyyyyyy! TGIAF! I’m soooo ready for this weekend 😀 I’ve been promising a “before” pic of myself for quite some time, but since the madre’s been holding them hostage (and never believed I was overweight to begin with) so that’s where the hold-up has been. I came across this picture while cleaning the closet out…

Hey hey hey!!! How are ya? Can you believe tomorrow’s Friday?!? I can’t either.. but I will happily embrace the weekend 😀 Someone is still a little tuckered out from our trip: (I thought it was so cute that she matches the crocheted blanket) I started out the day with a homemade continental b-fast 2…

The original protein breakfast cookie. This is a delicious and healthy make-ahead breakfast recipe that tastes just like dessert!

Here is the breakfast cookie how-to…
